The nominator said Gary & Lucy had spent thousands of hours in the hospital’s auxiliary and volunteer at numerous other functions like the First United Methodist Church Board, serving meals at funerals, RAGBRAI committees, soup suppers, and numerous other fundraisers.

It was also noted the couple “Are always willing to step up to lead or help with any need. Food needed? Lucy brings it with Gary by her side to deliver & they often serve it.”
